Lunch time

Children will eat their packed lunch or a school dinner in the dinner hall. Please remember that year 2 are eligible for ‘Free School Meals’. Please note that ‘Universal Free School Meals’ stop at the end of Year 2.

Once your child has finished their lunch, they will get the opportunity to play with their friends on the KS1 playground.
